I write in livejournal considerably more than this time six months ago. I don't know if it's because I've started spending a great deal more time at the computer while not playing AC and actually working, or whether it's that I actually have more to talk about.

Either way, I think this increase in writing (whether it's here or elsewhere) is a good thing. It was one of my reasons for joining this place in the first place.

I know I've changed a lot of what I write in here as much as I've changed the frequency. I feel like I'm being monitored by my extended family and that the information I place here is used against me. I'm wary and nervous about posting anything concerning religion, politics, anything remotely sexual, and what I'm doing with school/work.

This limitation is crippling, suffocating.

I know I write about feeling watched more often than I'd like, however, it is a constant pressure I'd very much like to avoid.

I'm not a quiz fan. I don't normally take them unless one is especially well-written. They're fun, I admit, but I honestly don't need to a corny, predictable, quiz to tell me who I am, what I'm similar to, what my favorite sexual position is, what I had for dinner, what Emeril saying I'm most like, etc. I should know all of these things in advance, and if I don't know, a quiz isn't going to teach me.

That being said, I don't mind other people posting their quiz results. It's their journal for goodness sake. I just usually skip over the quiz results and read what my friends actually had to say.

My mother and step-father will be here very soon. I've still got some more vacuuming to do, a litter box to clean, a few loads of clothes to wash, trash to take out, and a shower to take. I should most likely eat a little something before we go to dinner since I haven't eaten in 24 hours almost.

It's a word game involving acronyms, creativity and speed. For example if IART appeared on your screen you may come up with I AM REALLY TIRED. We also play "adult" which features rather naughty acros. Anyway, you vote on the best one and points are accrued. That's the basics anyway. If ya want to play sometime just let me know, i'll give you the info.
